I agree with this mostly, but I'd far prefer a ****head ban to an alcohol ban. Most folk have a beer, enjoy the game and have a laugh with their mates. Beer doesn't turn decent blokes into ****heads, it turns ****heads into even bigger ****heads.

A total of £855 was raised in a day and a half. Donations had to stop online in order to withdraw the money and have it available in time for the Leeds game next Saturday.

Should have confirmation from the players which charity or charities they are going to donate to in the next day or so.

Great effort from Salford fans and the wider rugby league community.

Funny these fans are not true fans in this photo. I have never ever seen these at a Widnes game before. They are probably Football Fans coming for a up and Trouble.

Everytime there is trouble at a rugby league game it's always the usual, football fans, soccer hooligans etc to blame.
It's tedious now, those people, and the people that have caused trouble at every other game recently are there to watch RUGBY LEAGUE, they are attending a RUGBY LEAGUE game! not football!
Maybe they are fans of football too? it can happen, myself and most of the people i attend giants games with are also football fans, we don't cause trouble or fight with people, same can be said of 99% of "football fans"
The sooner the rugby league community accept that there are some elements of nasty people watch our game regularly and that sometimes these people feel the need to act like complete tools, the better!

Well said, there has been trouble on and off at rugby league since the 1970s at least. Worst offenders in my experience - Warrington, Widnes, Wakefield, Hull, Hull KR, Salford, Bradford in past, Saints, Wigan. Best fans of the big clubs in my experience are Leeds.
